Has anyone painted their front bumperettes? I'm curious to see how they look.

I like what you have done. Not sure about the grill but I think I like it...the bumperettes look great...esp on your white car.
There is always something especially nice about a white 993...congrats on a nice car!

IMHO (since you asked!) -- do not like either change. Especially not the bumperettes. They look like rubber painted bumperettes. Euro look (for front and back) is vastly superior, aesthetically speaking.

Looks good. Not a fan of exposed or plain black plastic parts. Did my bumperettes when I did the duck.
My grill I did in silver to tie in the wheels and side graphics since I was going with an RS theme.

I agree. I don't like plain black textured plastic. Looks too "base model". Really porsche couldn't afford to paint it to match? Just wanted to punish America for having those bumper laws? I guess it's not so much euro look on the rear but really just more modern or 997 style as cow horn said. Unpainted looks weird to me but not as bad as a pontiac aztek or the first year Honda element or something with all that plastic. Euro rear without the rear plate looks like something is missing to me so I didn't delete in the rear. Will definitely delete the front in a couple months.
Thanks now time for a Guinness!

They are the nine inch version IIRC. Two separate decals. They did my side graphics as well. You may have to search a little through their site.
